THE HEART BREAKER A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY By YIIUSIMA TEHHI'Xii VAN DL WATKII - -- 4> CHAPTER XX. (Copyright, 191S, Star Company) At the sound of the motor horn. Honora started nervously. It was one of the so-called "siren" variety and she had heard it once before this evening. Turning in her seat, she leaned out and gazed into the glare of a pair of headlights coming straight toward her. What could the driver be think ing of? He must surely see Arthur's red tall light glowing in the dark ness. He must also see by ■ the light of his own lamps that a car was directly in front of his. Again the siren-notes sounded and Arthur swung his car almost out of the road to avoid being struck as the other automobile came abreast of his. "Infernal idiot!" he exclaimed wrathfully. His voice was drowned In t'-e roar of the car that lurched past, skidded, almost overturned, and, righting it- j self, shot away around a curve ahead. "Oh!" Honora started as if to seize his arm. then recollecting her self, refrained. "They will have an awful accident!" she gasped. "That was Chandler's car." Ar thur exploded. "Tom is probably drunk and driving straight to the devil—or the hospital. Why I what's the matter?" For his com-I panion had given vent to a low j moan. "Hurry!" she begged. Hurry around that bend there. I am sure something dreadful has happened. There —look!" As they rounded the curve they saw by the clear moonlight that the runabout that had passed them at such a furious rate had plunged, head first, down an embankment at the side of the road. Thirty ( later the Bruce car had reached the spot and Arthur sprang out. Quick as he was. Honora was on the ground as soon as he. and, to his amazement, was holding out her arms to a figure that was climbing up from the shailow ditch. Mildred Escapes 'Milly! Mllly!" she murmured. "Thank God you are safe!' At the same moment Tom Chand ler clambered up from the other side of the automobile. "Lord. that was a close shave!" ; he declared unsteadily. "Why, hello. , people! Where did you drop from? Milly, are you hurt, my dear?" "X —no." Mildred giggled hys tcrically, her teeth chattering. "Oh, here come some people! I wish they wouldn't!" A car full of men was approach ing, and the driver slowed up as he saw there had been an accident. •Listen, Milly!" Honora com manded quickly. 'You were not with Tom Chandler. Y'ou drove out j here with Arthiv and me.-—and we slopped to see if Tom was hurt, j Understand!" ••Well —I'll be darned!" Tom mut tered. "You are a cool one!" "She's right!" Arthur broke in incisively. Then, more loudly, as the new arrivals drew along side. "Come on. ladies! We may as well get hack into our car, now that we know that Chandler him self is all right. Tom I'll stop at the nearest garage and send a trouble-man back for your ma chine." "I'll wait here till he comes. Tom rejoined. "In spite"—with an unnatural laugh—"of your urgent invitation to me to ride back with you." "Good night Tom!" Milly called shrilly as Arthur started his car. "I am sorry that we"— But Honora silenced her before she conld finish her sentence. None of the party spoke again until after Arthur had stopped at a garage and ordered a repair man to go back to where Tom waited. Then, as they drove on, Milly de- , clared herself. way . ■ ) [ to clesryourskizk rOp ' I OL I JSfcfi There is no need of enduring the Resinol Ointment is gentle and ; discomfort that comes from a skin soothing and has been a standard sk'n j which itches and bums, or is marred treatment for over twenty years, so | by patches of eruption.
